1 pie

ingredients
- 18 ounces mint oreo cookies
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted

directions

- 2. add half stick melted butter.
- 3. press crust into 9 or 12 inch springform pan (could also use a cake pan).
- 4. soften ice cream in microwave NOTE: what works best is to place frozen ice cream in large bowl and melt it in 30 second intervals until it is soft enough to spread, but not completly melted.
- 5. spread half of ice cream onto crust.
- 6. in food processor roughly break the rest of the oreo cookies and pulse until crumbs form.
- 7. add warm hot fudge to cookie crumbs and spread over ice cream layer (makes a wonderful sweet crunch coat).
- 8. spread rest of softened ice cream over crunch coat.
- 9. cover with with cling wrap and place in freezer for several hours of overnight.
- 10. 15 minutes before serving remove from freezer and top with cool whip (I always use decorators tip to make a fancy topping and garnish with more oreo cookies).
- NOTE: The best way to serve is to dip knife in warm water than run it along sides of cake to loosen sides of pan then remove the sides and slice.
